RAFI Bonds US Corporate Index Series weights a company’s debt according to fundamental measures of a firm’s debt service capacity—book value of assets, gross sales, gross dividends, and cash flow—rather than the amount of debt outstanding. This results in an index with lower credit risk, lower volatility, and better risk-adjusted returns.

FTSE RAFI Bond Indices are based on a transparent rules-based methodology that weights bonds using economic measures of company or country size. The results are indices that are correlated with debt service capacity—tilted toward higher credit quality firms or countries with lower risk of downgrade or default.
